See an M.D. for: symptomatic treatment. 8 days withdrawal sx's is a little long but not unheard of, especially if you were on higher doses and for longer times. The symptoms are usually worse with Paxil and Effexor, (venlafaxine) so be glad you weren't taking those. For now, take it easy and call your psychiatrist.
